IMPROVEMENT IN ADJUSTABLE SHUTTLE-BINDERS.

The Schedule referred to ln these Letters Patent and making part of the lame.

To all whom, 'it may concern Beit known that we, NICHoLAs J. ALLEN and JAMES C. MOODY, oi' Brunswick, in the' county of Cumberland and State oi' Maine, have invented a new and useful improved Binder-Pin; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others to make and use our invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, in which Figure l is a topplnn.

Figure 2 is aside elevation.

Figure 3 is-a'detail of the eccentric and socket.

Figure 4 is a top view of tig. 3.

The purpose of our invention is to provide an improved method of adjusting the binder in looms to the size of the shuttle, as, for instance, when the shuttle. has become worn down to less width than it had originally by long use.

This adjustment has sometimes been made by simply knocking the pin with a hammer. This method is, of course, destructive to both pin and binder. 4

NVe are aware of other methods involving more or less inconvenience and trouble.

The manner we have invented, in which this purpose is accomplished, may be thus described:

a shows the bed. b, the binder. c, the pin or bolt.

. d, the hole or socket in the piece e.

It will be observed that the hole (l is eccentric in the cylindrical piece e. This piece e t-s into a hole in the binder l), (see fig. 2.)

The bolt or pin c is held in place when passed through the bed by a nut on the bottom thereof.

The binder is regulated and adjusted as follows: The hole or holes j, in the edges of the flange or rmih, are to admit a removable pin or small lever to be worked by the hand.

\Vhen the space between 'the b inder and the back piece is to be narrow, so as to insure the properdirection to the shnttle, then the eccentric cylindrical piece c is moved in one way, and when the said space' socket (I, eccentric piece c, and ilange 7i, all arrangedand operating as described. l
